Please forgive what I'm sure is a dumb question, but I'm stumped.
Is there a way to determine the amount of horsepower (from an electric motor for instance) that is req'd to pressurize a tank of a known volume to a specific pressure?
In other words if an electric motor is used to compress air in a tank to the point of motor failure/stall, is there a way to calculate the output horsepower of the motor by using the air pressure present in the tank?
Thanks in advance for your help,
